Dollar Shave Club vs. Billie

We wanted to post about the differences between two popular shaving subscriptions that you’ve probably seen all over the internet by now. Dollar Shave Club and Billie.

We want to start off by saying that we are not fans of having gender specific products. That being said Dollar Shave Club is geared towards men and Billie is geared towards women. We found that the Dollar Shave Club razors were heavy and “solid” they gave us a great shave and we really didn’t have any complaints about it. However when we decided to give Billie a try we found that we liked the design features that Billie had. They built the razor around what they felt women needed more in a razor. And we cannot deny that we have enjoyed the razor. It is light weight, comes in some pretty colors, and it came with a magnetic holder for the shower (a nice bonus, especially considering the Dollar Shave Club doesn’t come with anything to hold the razor in the shower).

Aesthetically both are very nice and honestly one of our biggest factors in choosing Billie over Dollar Shave Club is the razor weight.

As far as price goes Dollar Shave Club starts at $6 a month and the Billie starts at $9 for the initial razor, magnetic holder, and blades and then the lowest cost you can get them for is $9 for 4 replacement blades every 3 months. ( Of course there is the option to get them sent more often). Both are great companies and they are providing a service we are happy to use. Check them out for yourselves and do your own research. What works best for us might not work best for you.
